Time 1h6m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large tomato, diced
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
½ large onion, cut into strips
¾ cup water
2 (1.27 ounce) packets fajita seasoning
10 (6 inch) corn tortillas, cut in quarters
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
¼ cup green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Heat oil in the hot skillet. Add tomato, bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in cooked chicken, water, and fajita seasoning.
  • Line the bottom of the prepared pan with 5 tortillas; pour pinto beans on top. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture over the beans; cover with Cheddar cheese. Layer the remaining tortillas, black beans, and chicken mixture on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are lightly browned and chicken juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with green onions and cilantro.
